Probing the vacuum as a chiral medium
T. Heinzl, B. King, A. Mercuri-Baron
We study the circular birefringence experienced by linearly polarised photons colliding with a circularly polarised background creating a vacuum of definite chirality (handedness).…

Impact of the laser spatio-temporal shape on Breit-Wheeler pair production
A. Mercuri-Baron, M. Grech, F. Niel +4
The forthcoming generation of multi-petawatt lasers opens the way to abundant pair production by the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process, i.e., the decay of a photon into an electron-p…
